1290 Meeting the Parents (6)
“Grandmas, the two of you are making fun of me.”
The whole room was filled with laughter because of Chen Meng’er’s silliness.
“Look, what did I say wrong?”
“Great-grandmas, what are you talking about? You are so happy. I brought my sister-in-law here.” Liu Xiyi couldn’t help but raise her voice when she heard everyone talking and laughing in the house.
Cai Xiaoxiao, who was standing beside Liu Xiyi, was so nervous that she didn’t stop fidgeting.
Although she had been silently telling herself not to be nervous, she couldn’t help but shake.
Yuwen Xichen walked to Cai Xiaoxiao’s side and reached out to hold her hand. Feeling her hand being tightly held by his own, Cai Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Yuwen Xichen’s reassuring smile.
“Don’t be nervous. I’ll take care of everything,” Yuwen Xichen lowered his head and whispered softly into Cai Xiaoxiao’s ear.
“Okay.” Cai Xiaoxiao felt happy.
“They’re here. Hurry up and invite them in.” Chen Meng’er couldn’t wait any longer. If it weren’t for the fact that she respected her eldest son, she would have asked someone to investigate his girlfriend’s past behavior.
“Let’s go.” Yuwen Xichen held Cai Xiaoxiao’s hand and strode in. “Mom, Dad, everyone, this is my girlfriend, Cai Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao is a little shy. Take it easy. Don’t scare her. If you scare her away, I might be a bachelor in the future,” Yuwen Xichen said on purpose.
“Look at you, you make it sound like your mother is a wicked person. Also, you’re really heartless. You have to love your mother and your wife equally,” Cai Xiaoxiao said as she looked at the woman in front of her. She couldn’t believe it. This was Xichen’s mother.
Cai Xiaoxiao was stunned. Xichen’s mother looked very youthful.
“Xiaoxiao, this is my mother.” Yuwen Xichen nudged Cai Xiaoxiao when she saw that she was stunned.
Cai Xiaoxiao came back to her senses. “Hello, Auntie. You look so young, I’m stunned.”
“Haha, thank you. You’re very sweet.” Chen Meng’er looked at the girl in front of her. She looked quite sweet and innocent. In their family full of handsome men and beautiful women, she stood out with her innocent looks.
Chen Meng’er liked this girl very much. She felt happy just by looking at her. Therefore, she felt that her eldest son’s taste was quite good.
She was a sweet and pure girl.
“Come here, Sweetie. Come to me.” Everything would be easier if Chen Meng’er liked her.
Therefore, when Chen Meng’er called for Cai Xiaoxiao to come to her side, Yuwen Xichen felt relieved. His mother always had the final say in their family. Therefore, as long as his mother agreed, the others would have no objections.
Cai Xiaoxiao was stunned. Yuwen Xichen pushed her. “My mom wants you to come over. What are you waiting for?”
“Oh… OH!” Cai Xiaoxiao was extremely nervous, especially when she saw two of the three old men sitting over there, she had seen them on the news many times. They were all big shots.
She suddenly felt nervous again. Why had she assumed Xichen was an ordinary boy?
“Xiaoxiao, don’t be nervous. Please feel at home here. Auntie is a straightforward person. I won’t think badly of you,” Chen Meng’er said as she held Cai Xiaoxiao’s hand.
Hearing Chen Meng’er say this, Cai Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t help but think of the dramatic television shows she had watched before. What should she do if Yuwen Xichen’s mother objected to her being together with Yuwen Xichen?
“Sweetie, I like you very much. You’re a good match for my son. Come in. This is a welcome gift from Auntie. I hope you like it,” Chen Meng’er said as she took out the jade bracelet that she had prepared beforehand and put it around Cai Xiaoxiao’s wrist.
Cai Xiaoxiao was unable to react fast enough. It was only when she felt the cold touch on her wrist that she came back to her senses. She quickly shook her head. “Auntie, this gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it. Since this is my first time visiting you guys, I should have brought a gift. However, I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare anything.”
With that, Cai Xiaoxiao was about to take off the jade bracelet and return it to Chen Meng’er.
Although Cai Xiaoxiao didn’t know much about jade, she could tell at a glance that the jade bracelet given to her by Chen Meng’er was very expensive.
“Why not? If you don’t want to be with my eldest son, you can take it off and return it to me. If you want to be with my eldest son and be my daughter-in-law, you must wear it.”
Cai Xiaoxiao had no choice but to look at Yuwen Xichen for help.
Yuwen Xichen nodded to Cai Xiaoxiao and said, “Mom gave it to you. Just take it. She really likes you, so she gave you a gift. If she doesn’t like you, she wouldn’t have given you anything.”
“Of course. If I didn’t like you, I would have definitely ignored you.” Chen Meng’er winked at her. “Come, Xiaoxiao, Auntie will introduce you to everyone one by one. I’ll also get you some snacks.”
Chen Meng’er held Cai Xiaoxiao’s hand and walked towards everyone.
Cai Xiaoxiao was really touched by Chen Meng’er’s warm reception. She had always thought that the people of rich and powerful families were all high and mighty.
As for everyone else, they were surprisingly easy to talk to. When Chen Meng’er brought Cai Xiaoxiao over, they all took out the greeting gifts they had prepared for Cai Xiaoxiao.
